Hey, Clown Prince nobama...they pay taxes for use of the highways. Leave them alone.

The truckers have an ally: the rain. DC traffic is usually slowed down by even a slight rain, but its been pouring in DC for hours. :)

TWITTER: ABC7News ‏@ABC7News 16m VSP officers stopped four truckers a short time ago driving four-wide, urging them not to impede traffic.

Somebody throwing a chewing gum wrapper out the window could cause traffic problems on the beltway.

Well, according to the media bleats and Democrat brays about this ‘shutdown,’ it is a near total catastrophe of idleness and absence that effects each American down to his/her very needy core.

If this is true, a bunch of truckers on the beltway or the parkways around that cesspool shouldn’t be causing any problems at all since all of the governmetn (what media and Obama would like you to believe)is home on furlough.

So, DC’ers, just suck it the hell up and STFU. Go enjoy your furlough - you’re gonna get paid for the time off any way. If I had my way, you’d be sitting home for the rest of this year - at least.

HAPPENING NOW: A group of people are showing their support for the truckers headed to D.C. today by waving flags over Rt. 50 in Harrison County.

Seems like most trucks (and some cars) are honking in response.

Can we get this into “Breaking” so we don’t get a bunch of duplicates?

The truckers are doing no worse than the Administration is doing to the whole country.

A result of high gas/diesel prices is that it conveniently makes it harder to go to DC to protest.

[drypowder]

let’s hope the little tin gods with the badges don’t open fire on the truckers

God bless these truckers and keep them safe!

A convoy of tractor-trailers planning to circle the Capital Beltway in protest of the federal government has begun its descent on the Washington area and is causing some traffic problems for the morning commute.

So, how is this any different from a normal morning commute in the DC area? Seriously, in DC, an accident in the margin of a freeway--not blocking a lane at all--is enough to stop all traffic in the 6 lanes going that direction. The supporters of this can write what they will; it's a shame the protest isn't larger, and that its effect on DC traffic is imperceptible.

Ten trucks? a convoy of ten trucks?

That’s not a convoy. That is an ordinary moment on I 81

Just wait. It is going to cause apoplexy.

All of you going to watch........ park across the river and take the Metro to the Mall.

This is the local CBS station's traffic cam map. Looks like a normal rainy day around the Beltway.
